Guglielmo Vicario sent home ‘due to physical reasons’ in new Tottenham mystery
Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has suffered an unspecified injury during Italy’s training ahead of their World Cup qualifier matches.
Vicario has been a vital part of Tottenham’s campaign this season and played a key role in Spurs’ Europa League-winning side.
However, the goalkeeper was sidelined for 78 days during the season due to an ankle injury, proving to be a significant miss for the London side.
This latest setback is sure to raise serious concerns among Tottenham fans as they look toward next season.
What is the extent of Vicario’s injury?
The goalkeeper has pulled out of the Italian training camp ahead of their games against Norway and Moldova.
The Italy national team released a statement, via Pazzi di Fanta, saying: “Following the unavailability of goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario due to physical reasons, the technical commissioner Luciano Spalletti has summoned the footballer Marco Carnesecchi (Atalanta) for the meeting scheduled for Saturday, May 31, that will precede the two commitments of the national team against Norway and Moldova, valid as qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup.”
Atalanta’s goalkeeper Carnesecchi has replaced the Spurs goalkeeper as Italy head into a crucial set of World Cup qualifying games.
Vicario plays his role in Tottenham European glory
Daniel Levy has a big decision on his hands as he weighs Ange Postecoglou’s future at the club.
Winning their first trophy in 17 years, Postecoglou strengthened his chances of staying at the North London side, even though it seemed he might leave the club regardless of the Europa League final result.
Spurs fans will be eager for the club to act swiftly as they enter a crucial summer window, hoping to push on from a disappointing Premier League campaign that saw them finish 17th.
Playing in the Champions League next season will help the club attract stronger, higher-quality signings, but questions still linger over Spurs’ direction.
The fairy-tale win in Bilbao will be remembered for years, but what happens next could prove to be the real test of Tottenham’s future and legacy.
